DNA vs. RNA – 5 Key Differences and Comparison
WEBDec 18, 2020 · DNA is a much longer polymer than RNA. A chromosome, for example, is a single, long DNA molecule, which would be several centimetres in length when unraveled. RNA molecules are variable in length, but much shorter than long DNA polymers. A large RNA molecule might only be a few thousand base pairs long. Sugar.
GC-MS Principle, Instrument and Analyses and GC-MS/MS
WEBJun 10, 2022 · The sample mixture is first separated by the GC before the analyte molecules are eluted into the MS for detection. 1 They are transported by the carrier gas (Figure 1 (1)), which continuously flows through the GC and into the MS, where it is evacuated by the vacuum system (6). 1. The sample is first introduced into the GC …
LC-MS – What Is LC-MS, LC-MS Analysis and LC-MS/MS
WEBMay 17, 2021 · Strengths and limitations of LC-MS. Strengths. LC-MS is suitable for the analysis of polar and non-polar compounds, as well as thermolabile molecules. These compounds can range from low molecular mass analytes with m/z values < 1000 Da, to very high molecular mass proteins with m/z values > 100,000 Da.
NMR Spectroscopy Principles, Interpreting an NMR Spectrum and …
WEBNov 23, 2021 · Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a physicochemical technique used to obtain structural information about molecules. It is based on the physical phenomenon of magnetic resonance that was first demonstrated by Isidor I. Rabi in 1938. In the 1940s, two research groups independently obtained the first successful …
Cation vs Anion: Definition, Chart and the Periodic Table
WEBAug 15, 2019 · Cation vs anion periodic table. It can be possible to predict whether an atom will form a cation or an anion based on its position on the periodic table. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form ...
Proteomics: Principles, Techniques and Applications
WEBDec 9, 2020 · Proteomics is the study of the proteome – investigating how different proteins interact with each other and the roles they play within the organism. 4 Although protein expression can be inferred by studying the expression of mRNA, which is the middle man between genes and proteins, mRNA expression levels do not always correlate well with …
Essential Amino Acids: Chart, Abbreviations and Structure
WEBSep 26, 2019 · What is the structure of the amino acids? An amino acid’s structure consists of a central carbon atom attached to a hydrogen, an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), an amino group (−NH2) and an organic side chain (also called an R group). The side chain is unique in each of the 20 amino acids. Amino acid. Abbreviation.
Active vs Passive Immunity: Differences and Definition
WEBMay 20, 2020 · Active immunity is defined as immunity to a pathogen that occurs following exposure to all or part of that pathogen. When the body is exposed to a novel disease agent, a cascade of signaling molecules and action from the innate immune system results in activation of the adaptive immune system. Production of large numbers of T cells and …
Genotype vs Phenotype: Examples and Definitions
WEBDec 18, 2020 · An individual’s genotype is the combination of alleles that they possess for a specific gene. An individual’s phenotype is the combination of their observable characteristics or traits. While an organism’s genotype is directly inherited from its parents, phenotype is merely influenced by genotype. Environmental factors can also affect ...
Mitosis vs. Meiosis: Key Differences, Chart and Venn Diagram
WEBNov 20, 2018 · Mitosis and meiosis. There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is the process by which body cells divide and create copies of themselves for growth and repair. In meiosis, the new cells have half the genetic material of the parent cell and is the process by which egg and sperm cells are formed.
